We get TONNES of requests for a Profit Accumulator review.

For those of you looking for an honest review, look no further.

We completely understand why so many people ask for it. It can be really tough making decisions online with your money these days, especially when many people are worried that matched betting is a con.

There are plenty of other Profit Accumulator reviews out there, but when a large number of those sites earn money by referring you to join the company, can you be certain that they can be trusted?

We wanted to provide the most detailed, in-depth and honest post possible for anyone wondering if Profit Accumulator ltd are any good.

We often get people asking if there are any risks with Profit Accumulator, which there aren’t when it comes to matched betting the majority of the time.

Their service is usually absolutely fine.

ProfitAccumulator offer a full refund if you do not make your money back, so you are essentially freerolling the process.

Personally, when I joined I signed up for a full year to the paid ‘Platinum’ package. My twelve month membership cost me £150 and I was in profit after just two days, despite not understanding a thing about matched betting before I joined.

Over the years we’ve had a number of run-ins with PA but we have now decided it’s water under the bridge. These are issues were not related to their products and tools, which we will now discuss in more detail below.

We’ve explored the other areas of their service in greater detail below…

Products & Services

Profit Accumulator have a variety of services on offer, helping you with all areas of matched betting from horse racing to football accumulator refunds.

Let’s scrutinise their products and services a little further:

Tutorials & Training Videos

In terms of basic training, they will guide you through the entire matched betting process extremely efficiently.

They have super simple beginner matched betting tutorials and well-produced videos that talk you through each and every offer step-by-step.

It’s incredibly hard to make a mistake when completing your offers because the tutorials take you through the whole process from start to finish; signing up, finding your bet, choosing which odds to go for, getting your free bet, choosing what you should place your free bet on, wagering or rollover requirements and more detail wherever necessary.

They write up a unique tutorial for each offer they put on their site – and these new betting offers go live every single day.

If you wanted to get started on their free tutorials then you can do so via this link.

Matched Betting Calculator

One of the most off-putting things for beginners is wondering how much they need to bet on each outcome in order to make a profit.

Well, Profit Accumulator’s matched betting calculator is extremely simple to use – you just put your odds in from the bookmaker and betting exchange, put the stake of your bet or the free bet, and it will tell you exactly how much you need to lay off and what your profit will be – regardless of the outcome of the event you’re betting on!

We of course have our own free lay calculator right here on the site too.

Oddsmatcher

ProfitAccumulator have developed their own in-house odds search software.

Originally, the site was using the oddsmatcher developed by Oddsmonkey.

The oddsmatching software includes a range of different markets within football and horse racing.

It is useful because instead of needing to manually find odds on bookmaker websites for you to place your bet on, you simply choose the bookmaker within the oddsmatcher and the odds you’re looking for – the odds that are recommended in each guide that you’re following.

Within the oddsmatcher you’re able to click on the odds and place your bet without ever needing to put any real effort in – their calculator is even built in to the software and does the calculations for you right there and then.

Minimal effort, that’s what we like.

Matched Betting Forum

One of the best things about the company is the amount of help you get on their forum.

Their matched betting forum is packed with other matched bettors at all levels of experience, moderators and PA staff willing to help with offers.

Not only are they willing to help, but members are also constantly sharing new tips, notifying others of great odds in certain markets and generally being all-round useful people.

Everyone gets really involved in help and discussion 24/7, with jokes and casual chatter often finding a place.

As sad as it sounds, we made a lot of ‘online friends’ on the PA forum back in the day. We now, sadly, don’t get the time to engage in the forums on matched betting sites very much as we’re too busy running things here!

We have sometimes seen what we believe to be issues of gloating about big stakes from time-to-time, which we think is actually detrimental to users and the matched betting industry as a whole.

We don’t believe things like that are a good example to be setting to beginners, especially when newcomers can often be downhearted by achieving smaller profits.

We believe that any profit is a great result!

However, these comments of people bragging can also be used as motivation for many people.

What we would say is that if you’re a beginner or an intermediate-level matched bettor, you shouldn’t worry too much about big stakes or huge wins.

If everyone starts piling on with three or four-figure bets because they see one or a few users bragging about how big they bet and how much they won, we’re going to see fewer offers released and many more accounts being shut down.

There is some heavy moderation on the forum at times too, which can be to mixed reaction. However, at times this is what is necessary to prevent certain conversations from arising that aren’t allowed to be discussed.

Support

As well as the forum moderators, the company’s support staff aren’t too bad.

They’re clued up on matched betting, but also provide good customer service whether you need to ask queries about their service or your membership via the phone or email.

Match Catcher

Launched around March 2016, the Profit Accumulator Match Catcher is one step ahead of their oddsmatcher – providing more up-to-date odds solely for horse racing special offers.

It updates in real-time, and specialises in finding odds on horses that are only featured in offer races.

On Saturdays and during big horse racing events like the Grand National and the Gold Cup, the Match Catcher can be a Godsend. It will save you hours of time every time you use it, helping to further improve your matched betting ROI in terms of both time and money.

Accumulator Software

The ‘Acca Catcher’ will help you to complete accumulator offers with no fuss at all.

Accumulator offers are for slightly more experienced matched bettors (so don’t worry about them when first signing up!), and our acca catcher review would be that it really is useful for completing accumulators and also staying on top of them.

Offers

Many people are under the massively wrong impression that matched betting is only good for sign-up offers, and once you’re signed up to bookmakers you can no longer make any profit. This is completely WRONG!

Even if you already have a Coral account, or a Bet365 account, or any other bookmaker account for that matter, you can still make a great deal of money every month from matched betting.

These are the offers you can take part in when you’re already signed up to a bookmaker.

Reload offers are where the real money is – consistent returns, month after month.

The company list all of the day’s or week’s offers all in one place – on their Platinum forum. This makes it easy to work your way through them on a daily basis.

In addition to reload offers, there are also a range of other enjoyable and extremely profitable offers to complete, such as casino offers and bingo offers.

The company claim to have more offers listed than anywhere else and also claim that they have the biggest ‘offers team’.

They also have a ‘£1,000 per month‘ forum thread which is updated every day, listing all of the day’s offers that will ‘guarantee’ you at least £1,000 profit in a month.

This is a great idea, however, sometimes the offers are often simply repeated from days and weeks previous, and if you bet on these same offers time and time again you are likely to get your accounts gubbed.

However, it can still be used as a good guideline to help a user achieve the £1,000 monthly profit figure from low-risk reloads alone.

Comparison vs. Competitors

Profit Accumulator were the biggest matched betting site around is in terms of active users, and when you become so successful, you’re going to have people rising and trying to challenge you for the throne. It’s only natural.

It’s hotly contested between Profit Accumulator vs. Oddsmonkey as to who is the better site for sports matched betting offers.

We favour Oddsmonkey (free trial here) on Guide to Matched Betting, but there are many people that prefer Profit Accumulator (free trial here) too. They both offer a free trial, so maybe you can try both for yourself and see which one you think is best.

For casino offers, and specifically high-risk casino offers, we think the obvious choice is Profit Maximiser (which you can find here).

Aside from paid competitors, many people are also on the lookout for free matched betting sites and free Profit Accumulator alternatives.

Free matched betting sites are fine, if you want to earn £200-a-month profit. And some people do, that’s cool, we get it.

But for those that want to try to make significantly more, you have to invest just a tiny percentage of that in a site that will do all of the hard work for you.

Success Stories

There are thousands of Profit Accumulator success stories, and these are shouted about in the various clubs they have on their forum.

They have a £1k profit club, a £3k profit club, a £10k, a £25k, a £50k and even a £100k profit club that has several members in – all from matched betting through the site!

As well as providing many success stories on a regular basis, these clubs also provide motivation for many other matched bettors.

There is also a thread on the forum for showing off things you’ve purchased with your matched betting profits – further enforcing the success stories that every single member of the site will replicate.

Profit Accumulator Subreddit

There isn’t a section on Reddit for Profit Accumulator, but we do have our own matched betting subreddit – you can join us on there at r/GuidetoMatchedBetting.

Conclusion

All-in-all, Profit Accumulator is a good site for your matched betting.

That advice comes to you from us — experienced matched bettors that have been doing this for a long time.

We believe the site is worthy of a full 5-star rating, something that only a very small number of products and services are awarded here on this site.

Hi, this is very interesting read but I have one question. If all these companies do well at match betting and bring in lots of money from the bookies why are the bookies allowing this to happen? They are losing profits surely and would like to see these sites closed down?

The bookies don’t allow it to happen! It’s all about being smart. It’s such a small % of their revenue that is affected that it’s easy to go under the radar. Check out our posts on mug betting and also on being gubbed by bookies for extra info on this.

The bookies aren’t really that bothered. At the end of the day, you are still depositing money in their accounts and betting and more often than not losing to them (even if you are balancing out a betting exchange). They don’t really care as long as there’s money coming in and you’re losing more than you are visibly winning. As long as you don’t make it blatantly obvious what you are doing you can do it for as long as you like.

Real difficult to trust this review when your article is padded with affiliate links to Oddsmonkey. What you write may or may not be true (I have no idea, and am trying to pick a service right now) but it’s difficult to take you on your word when you’re making cash off each click through.

Fair enough, you’re entitled to your opinions but I’m fairly transparent about the links and also my past affiliation with PA within the disclaimer right at the start of the post. As stated in the disclaimer, I even sacrificed earnings with PA and sales with them are worth significantly more money. I don’t think you will find another site being more open and honest about these facts than we are.

I choose to promote the best service for matched bettors, not the service that will make me the most money.

All I aim to do is help people make the best decision, and at this moment in time (in my opinion as an experienced matched bettor that gets to try out a wide range of services) that decision is OM for matched betting and Profit Maximiser for casino stuff. You can use this information to help make your own judgement and I hope you find the right one for you!

Just coming to the end of my years membership with PA.
I use the acca matcher at PA and would like to know is how the OM acca matcher is in comparison?
I think the main thing I need to know really is that when PA puts an acca together, it selects teams that meet the criteria of the T&C’s for the relevant bookie, however it appears that with OM you have to be the person to check that the teams they select meet the T&C’s. If this is the case then it really defeats a bit of the objective which is to have something which make things easier and quicker to get offers done.

The new OM acca tool that is due to be released before the end of March meets all of that criteria and they will still have the old version up too, meaning there’s a wider variety of options than anywhere else I think – happy to be corrected on that one as I can’t monitor the constantly growing number of sites there are out there!

Hi thanks for the review its extremely helpful for someone with no experience of matched betting- I became aware of it through a profit squirrel advert on facebook. Also I appreciate the transparency regarding your affiliation with OM. My question is this; I have memberships with most online bookmakers within the UK, will this affect/cap my profit earning potential? For example, will an individual without memberships to any bookies make more profit than myself if we make the same bets at the same stakes as they will be receiving signing up offers from the bookmakers?

Having accounts with bookmakers will only stop the money coming in from the easy sign-up offers. It won’t affect your overall ability to make a decent amount of cash each month. I was already signed up with a significant amount of bookmakers (almost 20!) when I started doing this, so that goes to show how possible it still is :)

If anything, it can be an advantage that you’ve already been a member and probably built up the profile of a mug bettor unintentionally!

Best of luck, feel free to get in touch at any time if you need any further guidance.

Decent article, however it may need updating at somepoint as PA now do have many calculators now, including each way, fixabet, Refund IF and a few others. My main criticism with this review is on the loophole thread. where you state loops are openly discussed. This is true, however here is a disclaimer at the top on the forum that these are to only be done by experienced members who can understand risk and EV. The loophole thread on PA is very good imo and can be very lucrative, again if you cannot manage risk and afford to lose a casino account you will probably never use again then don’t do them, loops are not and have never been openly advertised on PA for people to jump on. That is how they get rumbled. I think since PA noticed the competition within the market (OM) they have really upped their game and tbh the forum has gone downhill since i started nearly 2 years ago. There’s alot of gloating and comparing dick sizes with more experienced members which in my eyes is bad for beginners starting up. In regards to PAs acca catcher compared to OM bringing one out with included ts+cs in March, that’s a complete joke especially for full timers. Acca refunds are the bread and butter of anyone serious about mbing. PAs acca catcher has been active since October if i remember correctly, the last thing anyone wants to be doing is wasting time checking ts and cs on acca refund offers.

Personally I disagree that accas are the bread and butter for anyone serious about MBing – I know that’s a recurring message on the PA forum – it’s all about extra places and casino for those that value their time; two areas where PA are lacking compared to the competition in our opinion.

2018 comment edits: PA now have an extra place tool, so this helps with the above. I’ve also removed mention of inconsistent forum policies due to improvements in the area.

This is a very comprehensive and fair review. I was tempted to leave PA after my first year because the range of tools offered by oddsmonkey is quite comprehensive. However, the 15% reduction in the annual fee tempted me to stay. Although I’m sure I’d benefit from additional each way tools, these offers are so rarely profitable (unless you get lucky, but it really is down to luck a lot of the time) that I’m not sure they warrant the extra fee. Good luck with your ongoing matched betting, I really do love this extra way of making money!

Thanks for your comment. I find each way bets to be profitable a lot of the time – I hit at least one a month and many more often. When you move on to covering a large number of horses and with bigger stakes, these can easily be worth the £2,000 monthly profit that I know many dream of hitting. And even better, you don’t have to spend every day checking results and laying further matches like you do with accas. I would definitely advise to anyone that’s been matched betting for more than six months or so to invest more time into extra places!

I’ve just come across matched betting this evening. Can you really make money with this?! Do you have to be good at calculating odds? How do I get started? Any help and tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Why isnt there a free Matched betting service? I appreciate websites take money to run but PA definitely make money from being affiliated to casinos (OddsMonkey probably do too). We’re just being ripped off!

Sorry but you are spouting BS – Profit Accumulator is a community of like minded friends who help each other to achieve profits large or small. I have been supported every step of the way and by the sounds of it your outfit are just another company trying to muscle in on Profit Accumulator’s success by preaching lies.

Profit Accumulators are the best Online Matched Betting service out there.

Thanks for your input, we stand by our review. If you can point out where we have lied, rather than simply voicing our opinion (which the whole review is — based on years of experience in the matched betting industry), then we will gladly get them clarified.

The biggest issue I had when I originally signed up to PA a couple of years ago was having enough money to front some of the bets at the beginning. In your opinion, with someone who might only have £100-200 to play around with per month, how long can you expect it to take before you are able to front larger bets – a few hundred per bet, for example?

Similar question regarding time; if, for example, you can only find some time in the evenings (after work) and maybe a bit longer at the weekends, spending as much as mentioned above, could you expect it to take months or even years before you really start making enough to make it worthwhile?

On top of the subscription, you do begin to wonder if you are making enough to justify the effort.

I accept and can confirm that you do make a profit, it’s just after the 2/3 months I tried my hand at it, it felt like alot of time and money would be needed before you are in the category of earning ~£500-1000 per month.

There’s not really much need to get to the ‘few hundred per bet’ level — of course it helps in the grand scheme of things, but you certainly don’t need to reach those stakes to pull in good profits each month. As for whether matched betting is worth the effort, if you can make £5 in 10 minutes, a lot of people would take that in a work environment, so why not in your free time?

you’ve changed your tune from before, did PA drop the lawsuit or did you just come to a good settlement?

As you can see from the comments you’ve still left active, this review once ripped PA apart and their antics in trying to bring you down should be enough to persuade anyone away from them. Integrity clearly isn’t a trait you value, even having a dig at another commenter (Jodie) and their affiliation – when you jump back and forth depending on who pays you more…

Integrity is actually the reason we have changed this review; we’ve always put our readers first and completely prioritised them over our own personal feelings and financial interests. As explained in the video, our hand was not forced and we did not reach any form of settlement other than a gentleman’s agreement to stop the public fallout with each other.
